Yes, the Pen F/FT mounts were all the same throughout their life from
1963-1972. What dimensions are you looking for. Their lenses are very easy
to spot, given their small size vs. normal 35mm lenses.
Literature on the fixed-lens, Olympus Compact rangefinders of the late 60's
and 70's is pretty easy to find, but not very comprehensive. It's mostly
small promotional fold-outs or booklets. Japanese manufactures of the day
didn't tend to put out detailed literature on consumer-level cameras of that
day (which most of the Pens and RFs were). Typical buyers didn't care about
the detailed tech specs.
I've never seen literature or instruction books for sale for the Ace. This
and the Ace-E were the only interchangable-lens RF's that Olympus produced.
I think the only way you will be able to get any dimensions is to ask
someone who has one. AFAIK, There were only the four lenses available for
the camera mentioned on Claus' site.
Literature for the Pen F/FT series can be found on my site. I'm sure that
I've got the best collection online in the world. I didn't scan the books
or the large monographs that I have though. And I don't have all the
literature, but I'm still looking. :-)

Thanks for the reply, sorry to not answer back sooner- for the weekend
I have only been at the computer to relist some unsold stuff on eBAy:(
,and to read the list on the fly. I am interested in the dimensions of
the ACE mount, and that of the PEN series(I take it all the PEN mounts
were the same). As much as I enjoyed Claus's site, it did not lead me to
any dimensions. I suppose I could go out and purchase one of each, but
what would I do for money for my OM stuff :).
If you would, Skip, or anyone else, I'd like to know of any Olympus
rangefinder specific literature you might know of that Claus Marin does
not include on his site. As I have said before, I am a collector, as
well as a user, so literature is very much of interest to me. I want to
get into collecting the Olympus rangefinders, but would like a little
info before I start.
Thanks again,
John
